Warm reception on chilly night as Dominican Winter League teams meet in New York

Fan reception was warm when a pair of Dominican Winter League teams met to start a three-game series at Citi Field. The weather certainly was not.
Fan reception was warm when a pair of Dominican Winter League teams met to start a three-game series at Citi Field. The weather certainly was not. More than 1,500 miles from their Caribbean ballparks, players from Águilas Cibaeñas and Tigres del Licey took batting practice at the New York Mets' home wearing hoodies and ski caps. A crowd of less than 10,000 was on hand at the 44,000-capacity ballpark for the first pitch of Águilas’ 3-0 victory. Announced attendance was 25,233 for the first of three exhibitions, which don’t count in the winter league standings. The advance sale for Saturday afternoon was 31,000.
